The Fight Mr.. Palmer Is Making.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Sept. ia unique fight is
now going between the Evansville g. Indian
apolis railroad and j. c. Palmer, a wealthy
farmer, Washington, Ind. The road is
built along the line of the old Wabash & Erie
canal, which was abandoned by the trustees
twenty-five years ago. When the canal was
abandoned the land reverted to the former
owners. Notwithstanding this and the fact
that twenty years possession gives valid title,
the canal trustees sold the property rights and
franchises to Mackey, of Evansville. and he sold
to the railroad company When the road came
to be built, however, the farmers refused to al
low the line to cross their farms, but the COM
pany used force and completed the road. In
1885 Palmer got temporary Injunction which
was made perpetual in 1886, and under it he is
arresting the train hands from day to day
they try to run trains across his land, and seems
to be in fair way to stop the operation of the
road. He now has a number Of conductors,
engineers and brakemen under bond.

AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS.
The Demorallzation of Passenger Rates.

The Decentralization of Passenger Rates.
New YORK, Sept I3-The Mail and Express
says: Railroad rates are more demoralzed to-
day than at any time since the pool was
ormed." This remark was made by Mr. Charles
Oberg, general Eastern passenger agent of the
Chicago & Alton railroad, this morning. Scalp
)rs rates even lower than yesterday to West
rn points, the figures being to Chicago $15. to
Cincinnati $l3, to ST. Louis $18, to Kansas City
81, which 10 a cut of $40. 10. and from SO to S.
ess than regular to intermediate points, with
The same proportional reduction to Colorado and
California points. Mr.. Frank. of the Astor
House, received a dispatch from Cincinnati that
the New York Central had begun to-day to sell
round trip tickets to this city from that place
something not heretofore done. The special
feature in the war to day was the news that the
roads are selling cut-rate tickets from local IN
termediate points,, and il IS said that when a cut
rate war comes 20 this. il means something seri-
Gus. 1t was said that no such cut rates have
prevailed since the pool has been In operation,
ana that it would certainly result in row be-
tween the big roads in the pool when the time
limit for the Philadelphia cut-rate has EXPIRED
which il the I'D inst. This warfare does not
interfere with the interstate law, because the
rate is kept proportionately low at intermediate
points.
The Trouble Over the Red River Valley Line.
OTTAWA, Sept. 13.-It is reported hero that
affairs in Manitoba over the interference of the
Dominion government with provincial right in
disallo wing the charter of the Red River Valley
road granted by the local government are daily
assuming more serious outlook, and the Do
minion government has ordered the military
stationed at Winnipeg to hold themselves In
readiness to suppress any trouble. A Winnipeg
dispatch states that the feeling on railway mat
tiers has been thoroughly aroused again by the
action of the federal govern ment in applying for
an Injunction to restrain the Red River Valley
road from further trespassing on number of
lots owned by the government One of the
provincial ministers admitted that this was the
most serious difficulty the province has yet
countered Sir John Macdonald. Premier Of the
Dominion. says positively he will enforce the
veto power vested IN him, while Norquay, pre-
mier of Manitoba. says he will not give in, and
will fight for his rights to the bitter end. The
affair is creating considerable excitem emit here
especially among the troops. who anticipate
call to arms TO suppress another Northwestern
rebellion. In the event Of any trouble, Premier
NorQuay, who is half breed, would have at his
back both the haf-breeds and indians who took
part in the rebellion of 1885.

Ives nefends HimseIf

NEW YORK, Sept 13.-The World publishes,
this morning, interviews with Henry S. Ives
and q number of his friends which fill over seven
of its columns. Ives lays the blame for all his
trouble on President Garrett, and charges that
there was conspiracy among railroad men and
corporations to crowd him out of the field. He
is confident that when the affairs of his firm are
settled there will prove to be large surplus.
He claims that he prevented the Mineral Range
railroad from being paraleled and thus main
tanned it's value. 1t seems that Mr.. Ives made
two contracts with Garrett Only one of these
did Mr.. Garrett make public. Ives says he does
not know what reason Mr.. Garrett had for de-
string two contracts. Ives maintains that there
was nothing fraudulent in the issue of the ten
millions of preferred stock of the c.. III. g. ID.
He says that the directors and stockholders au-
thorized the issue and also the sale of the stock
to his firm. Taken as a whole, there is very
little that is new in the interview.

NEW York, Oct. 12.--The Times says:
Wall street gave good deal of attention
to the tale Of Mr. Carrett's alleged weak
ness. Almost universally it was disbe-
lieved and pooh-poohed. Only men with
q predisposition to assault Mr.. Garrett
presumed to put any faith in the report.
Attention was called to the fact that
whenever any man summoned courage
enough to oppose a scheme of Jay Gould
and threatened I. fight, ruElors as to his
sanity were almost always started. The
Garrett incident isn't novel. 1t is a good
deal of q Jay Gould chestnut. Before
leaving this city Mr.. Garrett examined
the ground carefully. He then admitted
to a friend here that the sale YVES appar-
emily in every way a legal one. He be-
believed that had the sale been differently

the Combine yveary---Che Wool Ring.
NEW YORK, Oct. 12.-The Sun says:
For O. number of months past the princl-
pal sugar refiners Of this country have
been negotiating the formation of trust
similar to the Standard Oil trust and the
American Cotton Oil trust. The matter
has been conducted with the greatest
secrecy. AS is well known, the great
bulk of the sugar refining business OF
the country is centered in this city.
The two-out- town firms that have been
considered desirable allies are Harris,
Frazier & Co., Of Philadelphia, and Nash,
Spaulding e. Co., of Boston. The last
named has shown q good deal OF reluct-
ance about going in, and, as far as can
be learned, has not committed itself in
the matter It's suggested that il any
one Of the firms wanted to stay
out of the combination and rlake an
alliance with Claus SpreclSles, who has
practically monopoly of the sugar busl-
ness of the Pacific coast, they could make
the combination very weary. 1t is esti-
mated that the combined resources OF the
concerns mentioned would represent fully
$50, 600, coo Of capital. a 20. +.

A Boston Paper Gives Some Facts Ase-
futins the Recent Charges. ...
BosToy. Oct. 12.-The American Wool
Reporter in its next issue will say: -.
The recent decreased imports of wool
affords the best possible answer to the
recent widely published sensational ar
ticle, originating in Western paper, al
leging that the present depression in the
wool market is due to u gigantic ring
among Eastern manufacturers and Bos'
ton custom house officials, Who,' by
undervaluation, passed millions OF pounds
of wool through the ports and have
loa ded the market with it. 1t appears
thai the imports Of foreign wools Tor
the eight months ending Aug. 81,
into all the ports OF the umteo
States, were but G6,616, SI4 POUNDS,
against S5337, 435 pounds for the CORES
bonding period of 1886. AS for the
secured wool which this journal alleges
was imported as ''waste'' at lO cents duty
when it should have been dutiable at ~
| cents. The article which caused the
trouble was technically known as ring
waste,' and the custom house onlclal
were deceived by the name and admitted
it under the 10 cent rate as S'waste'' unit
the attention of the treasury department
was called to the matter, since whlcl
time it has been classed as secured wool
